My 2 Cents LA

The 14 Best Soul Food Restaurants In LA

"If we were to describe My Two Cents in two words, we’d call it “evolved nostalgia.” The Mid-City restaurant focuses on cooking Southern classics with a fun twist using all organic ingredients. The shrimp and grits here are one of the best in the city, the honey-glazed cornbread hits the spot, and the mac & cheese spring rolls taste even better than they sound. My Two Cents is open for lunch and dinner, but the best time to come in is for a soul food brunch on the weekends. That’s when the small dining room on Pico blasts hip-hop tracks and posts weekly dessert specials on the chalkboard by the register. " - nikko duren, garrett snyder, brant cox
